Dentures at Smiles by Mia in Burke, VA, provide a practical way to replace missing teeth, whether you need partial dentures to fill gaps or full dentures for an entire upper or lower arch. Traditional removable dentures are affordable and quicker to make, though they may feel less stable. Implant-supported dentures use titanium implants to anchor dentures securely, enhancing comfort, bite strength, and jawbone preservation. Our team ensures a healthy mouth by treating any underlying gum disease or decay before fitting dentures. This comprehensive approach helps patients regain confidence and enjoy a natural-looking, functional smile.
Getting dentures can greatly improve your quality of life by restoring both the function and appearance of your teeth. Whether you choose traditional removable dentures or implant-supported options, these restorations help you eat, speak, and smile with greater ease and confidence. Implant-supported dentures provide added stability and prevent bone loss, supporting your facial structure over time. Our team at Smiles by Mia ensures a personalized fit and guides you through the adjustment process, so you can enjoy a comfortable and natural-feeling smile that enhances your overall well-being.
Restore your smile and confidence with custom dentures designed for comfort, function, and a natural look. Ideal for missing teeth or full arch replacement.
It usually takes about three to four weeks to adjust to eating with new dentures. Starting with softer foods and cutting solid foods into smaller pieces makes chewing easier. With time and patience, your comfort and ability to eat a broader range of foods will improve significantly.
The best choice depends on your individual needs. Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth remain, helping preserve your existing teeth and maintaining oral function. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch but may require more time to adjust. Your dentist will guide you toward the option that best fits your dental health.
Remove your partial dentures and soak them in cold water or a denture cleaning solution. Use a soft-bristled brush with denture cleaner or non-abrasive toothpaste to gently clean all surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water and soak overnight in a denture-soaking solution to keep them clean, fresh, and hygienic.
Most patients can speak clearly within 15 to 30 days after getting dentures. It takes time for your mouth to adapt to the new appliance, and adhesive may feel unusual initially. As saliva levels normalize and any sore spots heal, your ability to speak naturally and comfortably will improve.
